Bought this one about a year ago to support the older foggers I'm using with my DJ gigs. Now that Covid's allowing us to really do things I've tested this piece with more thought. The heating up time is very short and the mount of fog produced is really good. This is just so that you all know before yo purchase this... only real issue I have is that the manual keeps talking about adjusting output with either the potentiometer of the remote control or via DMX. The thing is this is not possible at all. The device is 100% full on all the time, not possible to adjust the amount of fog. In fact the remote control that came with the device does not even have the third potentiometer for output adjustment, only for Interval and Duration. But the manual has it all visualized and you can actually see the remote has a place for the third one but for some reason it has not been installed. And the same goes when controlling via DMX, no matter what you code/program, my DMX program sends data from 5% to 100% nicely but the device is just 100% on or off, no matter where your slider is at. Manual really says the output can be programmed from 5% to 100%, which indeed is not true with this version of the machine. If I had realized this right after I purchased it a year ago, I would have returned the machine as I very much like the opportunity to adjust the amount of fog. Whatever, its too late now but apparently I do have one 100% fog creating monster in my rig.
